Help me!
Can you please help me with the errors I have made on an article I tried to update ?

Please help me with... Eric Feldt article. I have some errors in my references and external links which I don't understand how to correct. Also my article is not set out as I envisaged it. As well one part of it is in rectangular box and I don't know how to fix that.

I don't know how to retype my signature. My keyboard does not have tildes? on it. Ada Botilda (talk) 06:49, 4 November 2017 (UTC)


 * You've done a very good job on expanding the Eric Feldt article. I've done some fixups. The table-of-contents box was far down the page because you did not use the standard section header method to create sections. I've solved some of the reference errors, but the cites to Feldt's book each have a different page number, so you'll have to read up on how you want to handle that, I'm not going to decide for you. I also replaced "teleradio" with "two-way radio", which may not be right, but I couldn't find anything that would better explain what a teleradio was. I also fixed up a lot of punctuation and spacing errors to more closely match the manual of style for Wikipedia. Nevertheless, there remain many things to be fixed. One problem is that the tone of your writing is not always objective, so a lot of admiration and sympathy for Feldt comes through in a way that is not desired in encyclopedic writing.


 * I don't know what to tell you about the lack of a tilde. If you're editing on a computer, there's a button with four tildes in it labeled "Sign your posts on talk pages:" that will do the job of typing four tildes for you. If you're editing on a mobile device, I can just watch with sympathy - I can't do any useful editing on my phone and it's difficult on a tablet.  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  09:17, 4 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, yes, I got your email.


 * On Eric Feldt, you need a footnote at least about "teleradios" since you want to use a word that is not easy to figure out by looking it up on the internet. Your solution on Feldt's book is not quite good enough, since for books, we want to have page numbers in the references. I don't much like the two usual solutions for this, but the rp is, to my eye, better than doing the whole shortened footnotes indirection game, but you may have different tastes.  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  01:06, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
